I learned how to type by playing online multiplayer games in before teamspeak or whatever they use now became a thing. Although it was still quicker to type to communicate even after teamspeak.
They typing class I took was a proper typing class though, so much more learning than just where the keys are located. Old Skool stuff too like double spaces at the end of sentence puntucation. How to set up tabs. How to format letters. Just to completely date myself, I was taught PASCAL!
